DU students complain of unfinished courses as exams for four-year curriculum loom

With only a month left for the first semester exams under the new Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP), students of DU colleges are complaining of utter confusion and unfinished courses.

Students and teachers from over 15 Delhi University colleges spoke about their concerns over FYUP and the new marking system in a public hearing organised by All India Students Association, a Left-wing student's body.

Students complained that even though Foundation Courses are too basic in nature, teachers are spending a lot of time on these courses leaving no time for the Discipline Courses.

DU students voiced their
concerns at a public hearing

"I took admission in Physics to study the subject in depth but I have not even started on it. Why should I spend all my time in making presentations of school level?" said Prerna from Dyal Singh College.

The students also seemed unhappy about the several projects they have to make under the foundation courses. "Internal assessment would be based on projects and we have no clarity on how to make these," a student said. Many also voiced their concerns about not receiving the promised laptops yet.
